It wasn't an apple that they ate from the Tree of Knowledge. That's how ignorant of the actual story you are.
Says you...So what you are doing is openly interpreting the story, not actually reading and taking the story literally as it is laid out in the book.
What makes you believe that the story is meant to be taken in your interpretation and not the simple interpretation.
For me its pretty simple, Do as god commands or he shall spite you. That is the cut and the shut of the story. Follow his rules or he will punish you.
That's an ideal story to sell a religion and force compliance. Not one of the different versions of the genesis story imply sexual intercourse with a serpent by EVE, from what I can see..
But anyway lets get back to nitpicking genesis:
Genesis 1:16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
The sun is a star...?
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
Hm, so this doesn't sound very sexual. it sounds like theres a tree, a serpent and a pair of humans. One gives the other some fruit and as I said above, directly disobeyed god so he should Kill them. Except he does not.
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
Gods meant to be everywhere, why would A, he need to ask where adam is, B, why would he need to ask if he had eaten the forbidden fruit? Surely he would already know. is it a trick question?
I could go through and rip apart every line, including cain getting cut adrift and being killed by someone, yet there is no other someone apart from adam and eve on the earth.
25 Adam made love to his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[h] saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him
But just before this,
we have:
19 Lamech married two women, one named Adah and the other Zillah.
So where the hell did these people all come from, if the Genesis is listing each child that eve had? Whos lamech and who bore him or his wives?
It just makes no sense.
